        <p><strong>Prohibited and Restricted Items -  Overview</strong><br />
          Before you list your item, you need to find out if  your item is allowed on Swapen and if the type of item is subject to certain  restrictions to avoid potential issues with your listing. As an Swapen seller,  you are ultimately responsible for making sure that selling an item is legal in  the eyes of the law.<br />
        Violations of these policies  may result in a range of actions, including:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Listing cancellation </li>
          <li>Limits on account privileges</li>
          <li>Account suspension </li>
          <li>Forfeit of Swapen fees on cancelled listings</li>
          <li>Loss of PowerSeller status. </li>
        </ul>
        <p>When policy violations occur, Swapen emails the seller, and the buyer that a  listing has been ended. You may contact Swapen to report violations by using  the “Report” or “Contact Us” links found on most policy pages.<br /><br />
            <strong>Understanding the rules  about prohibited and restricted items</strong></p>
        <ul>
          <li>Policies about listing items are often based on  country and state laws. However, many restrictions may involve the sale of  dangerous or sensitive items and are not necessarily prohibited by law. The  limitations are the result of input by numerous stakeholders, including the  Community. For example, see <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/offensive.html">Offensive  Material Policy</a>.</li>
          <li>When selling across borders, be aware of <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/international-trading.html">international  trading</a> and <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/importation.html">import  restrictions</a>. Certain items may be legal in your country, but may be  illegal elsewhere. </li>
          <li>Just because a particular type of item is listed  below, it does not mean that it is completely prohibited. For example, in the <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/medical-devices.html">Medical  Devices Policy</a>, many items are prohibited (for example, contact  lenses), but many others are allowed – under certain circumstances (for example  some medical instruments). When in doubt, you should read the policy page  carefully. The policy pages contain these details under Additional Information  and Examples. <br />
              <strong>Note:</strong> Examples are designed to help explain the policy and should not be  viewed as an exhaustive list.</li>
          <li>It is also important to review the <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-ov.html">Rules for  Listings</a> and the <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/intellectual-property-ov.html">Rules about  Intellectual Property</a> to check if your  type of item has additional restrictions that would affect your listing. </li>
        </ul>
